Chelsea Darwin Killed in Alleged DUI Trucker Accident in Winter Haven, FL
Winter Haven, FL — January 10, 2024, Chelsea Darwin was killed following an alleged DUI trucker accident late Wednesday on Spirit Lake Road.
Polk County Sheriff's Office investigators said the crash took place at around 8:20 p.m. in the area of Spirit Lake Road and Shadow Wood Way.

According to current statements, 27-year-old Chelsea Darwin was in a vehicle going northbound along Spirit Lake Road. A semi-truck was moving in the opposite lane of travel when it apparently went left of center and crashed head-on into Darwin's vehicle. As a result, Darwin sustained fatal injuries.
Authorities allege that the truck driver was impaired at the time of the crash and that witnesses told them they saw the truck driver "throwing objects" from the truck, and authorities found empty alcohol containers nearby.
Currently, there appear to be pending charges for DUI manslaughter, tampering with evidence, and other alleged violations. The crash remains under investigation.
